BREAKING: YES! The Catholic Church hits Trump with a MASSIVE lawsuit after his administration denied access to clergy seeking to administer sacraments to detainees. This should knock these fascists down a peg or two... “As a bishop I am responsible for every soul in my archdiocese, and that includes those who are in the prisons,” stated St. Louis Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski. He said that his priests "cannot hear confessions, they cannot celebrate Mass, they cannot give ‌the ⁠anointing of the sick to any of the detainees." Rozanski accused the administration of "robbing the detainees of their rights to have access to these sacraments." His archdiocese has filed a lawsuit alleging that a detention facility in Missouri blocked them from accessing Catholics being held inside, violating their right to receive communion and confession. The archdiocese says that most of the roughly 150 detainees are Hispanic Catholics. Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of ​Missouri, the suit names officials at Homeland Security as well as the local sheriff. It reveals that clergy have been restricted to a paltry four-hour window to meet with detainees at the Saint Genevieve County Jail, and even then they are separated by glass, meaning that they cannot administer the Eucharist. Denying Catholics communion is a grave violation of their religious rights and a clear sign that there is nothing truly "Christian" about this White House. The officials at the jail suggested that the priests could place the consecrated communion host — which Catholics believe to be the literal, physical body of Jesus Christ — inside a no doubt dirty container, which the guards would then pass along to the detainees. Archbishop Rozanski slammed the idea as "sacrilegious." The archdiocese is demanding that its clergy be granted a level of access commensurate with their importance to the detainees, which would mean treating them like consular officials or attorneys.
